    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi David,<br>
      &nbsp;The other possible solution is I can perform a linear translation
      of the y-coordinates of all the files t=1 to N. And then use the
      absolute location function. Do you know how can perform that
      linear translation in y-coordinates seamlessly? <br>
      <br>
      thanks<br>

                &nbsp;Thanks for the reply. Selecting a nodal points does not
                really help.&nbsp; Please refer to the attached image. The

                node does not help because the mesh is deforming and the

                          I have a transient simulation results written

                          moved from the initial file. I am looking for
                          something like evolution of T on the material
